Woo Hoo! I missed it!

No snow in Shreveport! Devin called me at 6 a.m. this morning after I had been out with friends until 3:30 a.m. to let me know they had snow. Good thing I love that kid because not many people can get away with waking me after only 2 1/2 hours of sleep. :-) There was 4 inches of snow in Pointe Coupee. I do regret that I'm not there to take pictures. I would have loved to have taken pictures of the pasture behind my house. It's beautiful on the average day, so I can only imagine what it looked like today.
My general manager emailed me this morning he told me that I am officially band from winter travel. I tend to either have snow or flat tires every time I attend this economic development conference.
I head home tomorrow. It's been a good conference. I just hope and pray my trip home is a good one.

Argh! How do I get so lucky?

As most of you know I hate winter. I hover around the I-10 for a reason. No snow. Mild winter tempatures. Well guess who is in Shreveport? And guess what they are forecasting? Yep I'm in Shreveport and they are forescasting snow. Seems like everytime I come to Shreveport it snows. Just hoping I can get back in time for our Christmas party on Saturday. It can snow as long as I'm in the comfort of the hotel and the roads do not close! Yeah Yeah laugh at me all you living in Yankee territory. And Yes Nicole...you are a yankee! lol

A Weekend of Concerts...

The weekend before Thanksgiving I had the opportunity to see 2 great concerts. The first was after the football game. Walk On's had the Molly Ringwalds. They are one of my favorite local bands. My friend Jamie and I went. Although we were told "Yes Mame" several times that night by college student and also concerned that they thought we were cougars on the prowl that night, we had a blast. A lesson learned...although that scene was a lot of fun 8 + years ago. Not that cool these days. I know it's hard to believe it but I've grown up.

The next day I took Devin to New Orleans to see Metalica. Great show...the best I've ever seen. Not my favorite concert, but definitely the best show. It was Devin's first concert. I told him he started at the top, and every concert from here on out will be disappointing. lol I'm glad I got to take him to his first concert!
